Question

What is the area of the regular hexagon? This is due tomorrow please help! :)

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

so then, the perimeter of that hexagon will just be the sum of all its 6 sides, or namely 3⅖ + 3⅖ + 3⅖ + 3⅖ + 3⅖ + 3⅖, or just 6( 3⅖ ).

`\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}ap~~ \begin{cases} a=apothem\\ p=perimeter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=3\\ p=6\left(3(2)/(5) \right) \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3)\left[ 6\left(3(2)/(5) \right) \right]\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3)\left[ 6\left(\cfrac{17}{5} \right) \right] \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3)\left(\cfrac{102}{5} \right)\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}\left( \cfrac{306}{5} \right)\implies A=\cfrac{153}{5}\implies A=30(3)/(5)`
